Fortunately Carousel has handled further encounters with Royal Sisters more gracefully.

Nobility and hight society. Bah. I could not stand around them for more than five minutes. :I
I can't really blame Carousel for breaking. I would probably react in a similar fashion. Thought i think I would just emmit absolutely no sound. XD

Is it just me, or has the Princess shrunk?
I swear she looked taller in some of your older drawings. Maybe it's the perspective.

I chalk that up to sketching this on a lunch break and not get all the proportions correct.

Ah, sorry.
How tall is Celestia in your dreamscape? You seem to depict her as about twice the height of the average pony.
Her Majesty must have alot of fun whenever she takes the train. Those seats are uncomfortable enough for mortals, let alone for Miss-Enormous-Britches

Oh sorry for the late reply. As a general Celestia is roughly about twice as tall as most ponies. Also when usually travels by train there is a special rail car, think private Pullman cars of the 19th Century.

This still makes me giggle every time I look at it. ^_^

^_^ Yep, still working.
...You know, while there are obvious the angles of doing it for her own amusement, or because she knew Carol would enjoy it, part of me thinks Petina might have brought her over for your benefit. What I mean is, the whole 'King of Shadows' mess was pretty heavy stuff (not to mention all the mess to come with Applebloom's shadowy 'friend), and Petina thought you could use a reminder of just how... well, magical this world could be. Maybe Petina thought seeing the pure, childlike wonder in someone else's eyes would help you remember what drew you to Equestria in the first place.
...A bit of an odd thought, perhaps, but going through and refaving all of these older pieces after having finally gotten around to finishing reading the end of the 'Deceiver' arc, I found myself really enjoying Carousel's demeanor and antics for those very reasons.

That is a very interesting idea, and I will admit I had not considered it before. Carol considers herself to be very fortunate to have the Equestria dreams so regularly and finds that she is much happier when wakes from them.
For her it does seem that she is living some storybook fairy tale dream. Even if all she primarily is a simple town pony in a small farm community who pulls a delivery cart for a living. What matters is that she is doing it in Equestria.

Indeed; I can imagine Petina was rather pissed at your subconscious at first; here' a a magical, happy world full of wonder that captured your imagination, and the first thing your mind does when it get there is launch into the middle of a Lovecraftian horror story. With pulling in Carol, I can see Petina thinking "Here, look at her. THIS is how you SHOULD be reacting to being here!"

Well I was, and still am, having an incredible time and it was so much fun! Then all this nasty stuff started happening.

Well there has been excitement since but it has not been the life or death stuff. Although Petina over the next few months will be a source of never ending headaches for Twilight.

"Now mid autumn is not the optimal time view the palace gardens but it was still a beautiful place to spend a day. Scattered around the garden were temporary pavilions where one could partake of refreshments or get a drink or a beverage. This more than any event we would attend during the festival was an event where being seen was almost more important than acts performing. Every mare's ensemble was being assessed, discussed, deconstructed and evaluated against the competition present. In an afternoon a mare's standing in Canterlot high society could move up or down depending the decisions she'd made in her garments and accessories. For the stallions of Canterlot high society it was not much better, and there was this whole added peeking order related to what gentle stallions club you were a member of. How large, new or fast your air yacht was. What school you'd attended, and if you were a unicorn how close to the old royal unicorn family your family was connected. Bleah!"
I will never understand how nobles can live with this.

For a moment I thought Celestia had the Aperture Science logo on her flank.

So Carousel got a bonus, or didn't either Princess take tea with her?

'carousel.exe has encountered and error and needs to close'
-alternately-
'Out of my mind; be back later!'
.....
Knowing what she does about you, your mind, and the nature of this universe... I've a feeling that this outcome wasn't ~entirely~ unintentional on Celestia's part... :3

Oh, poor Carousel! I think her brain needs a reboot. But hey, at least she got to meet the Princesses.
